There's no rumbling stomach France can't satisfy, whether in a gourmet bistro or Michelin-starred restaurant, a cosy rustic inn or café, a street food truck or a market. Tables everywhere groan with the French basics: crunchy baguette, decadent cheeses and pastries and fine wine.
Meal time is sacred and to be treasured, in good company with plenty of lively conversation – it's a way of life in France.
